Peanut, the gorgeous and charismatic beauty who beat a bunch of ugly bitches to win the crown at the 26th annual World’s Ugliest Dog contest in Petaluma, CA!

My favorite beauty pageant, the Miss World’s Ugliest Dog, happened again in Petaluma yesterday and I guess after last year’s SCANDAL the organizers got some judges who have working eyeballs and know the definition of pretty ugly when it slaps them hard in the retinas. Last year, I nearly stormed the streets of Petaluma demanding a recount when Walle, an average non-ugly basic dog who should’ve never been a contestant, won and stole the trophy after sources say he was seen slipping hundreds to the judges backstage. Walle’s win killed a little of the trust I had in the judges of the World’s Ugliest Dog. But that wrong was made a right this year when a 2-year-old adorably ugly mutt named Peanut won the title.

Peanut’s story is a sad one and you should really play a Sarah McLaughlin song in the background and prepare for the pile of soggy Styrofoam peanuts you call a heart to feel things. Peanut was taken to a shelter when he was barely one years old after he was seriously burned as a puppy. Peanut lived in the shelter for 9 months before his human Holly Chandler of Greenville, North Carolina fell in love with him and adopted him. According to SFGate, she told reporters at the World’s Ugliest Dog pageant that she entered Peanut to raise awareness for abused dogs (and because she wanted that check):

“We’re trying to use him as a poster child for what can happen to animals who are abused,” she said.

Peanut won $1,500 and I’m sure he’d love to spend that on jerky and hot bitches, but his human’s going to use the money to pay the vet bills of animals who can’t afford proper care.
